2nds 2026 Adelaide Crows SANFL thread

[Cromulant]

So Dan came through unscathed? Thats great news. Did he look like he was moving well out there and did he get a fair bit of time in the centre on ball?

Moved fine, faded a bit late so another week might do the trick.

Bring him back against Richmond.

 

[Mutineer]

Soligo was the only player that screamed pick me out of the SANFL game yesterday, Curtin was OK early but faded a bit and looked in need of the gallop. Personally I thought Draper was just OK too, certainly didn't scream pick me anywhere near Soligo's game.

He looked in second gear. I got a bit nervous because he took the boundary throw in a few times because ROB / Strachan were too slow getting there.

He obviously has beautiful disposal which was on display - lowering his eyes for short passes holding onto the ball for a split second longer to get an effective disposal away.

But he also did look like a guy that was conscious / aware that he was coming back from injury. Hard to describe what I mean in words.

Tentative?

 

[Cromulant]

Tentative?

Id say cruising rather than tentative.

Like he knew the aim was to get through and then step it up next week.

No issue at all with that. THE most important thing for him was to come through unscathed and with hopefully no residual soreness in the knee. Ifhe needs another week to blow the cobwebs out in the SANFL no problems. Once he isback in the AFL side fingers crossed its no looking back and we as a club are looking up

 

[1970crow]

With 5 on the bench, I don’t think it really matters. They can monitor his AFL game time

I’d play him in the AFL. 50% AFL game time would be better than 90% game time in the SANFL.

I’d give him one more cobweb cleaner and then bring him in on managed minutes.

 

[spec tator]

I came on here to ask about him.

What was the knock on him in his draft year?

There was no real knock on him. He carried a hip injury in his draft year and struggled to run. missed the combine too.

Spina won the Anzac Day award. Was that only for the captain of North? Or was it for anyone?

Weird to have an award for only one team.

Isn't that for the BOG in a PA ANZAC day match? Non-PA players have won it previously.

The John Earl ANZAC Medal that Alex Spina won is a North Adelaide Football Club-specific award for their Anzac Day match

SANFL's Bob Quinn Medal however, is awarded for the best player on the ground in the league's traditional Anzac Day clash between the previous year's premiers.
